It's funny - Yoshi never planned for him to be anything more than some minor comic relief in 1.0 to lighten up the increasingly jaundiced tone of the story. My own fear though (which sadly has become increasingly blatant as his storyline continues) is the risk for SE to devolve his humour into utter farce. He works best when he's bumbling but still has dignity. But the recent Hildy quests particularly were dumming him down into a farcical imitation of himself.

Sure the whole thing with Godbert running around in short shorts and suplexing monsters is good for a laugh, but more and more SE just seem to be trying to turn Hildibrand into a one-dimensional Looney Tunes character for quick laughs. Which is a shame, as he really is an awesome character that managed to succeed despite his idiocy. But I'm just rambling here. :P

A man cross dresses once and you never let him live it down!

True, he should be more like Inspector Jacques Clouseau than looney tunes ^_^

At least we can guess that he finally catches the thief. Probably. It is Hildibrand we are talking about so we may never know. What has me intrigued that the Golden Saucer is the Manderville Golden Saucer. It's probably owned by Godbert. Or it's a paralell for the Diogenese Club and owned by Hildibrand's brother. Hmmm, I wonder if we can have our fortune read by Caith Sith.
Anyroad, time to play the hell out of FF III and VIII in preparation for the world of darkness and triple triad.

I'm just goimg to go ahead and assume that Godbert is going to be the stand in for Dio. The gold saucer being run by a powerfully builtman you first encounter wearing nothing but his most breif breifs, with a taste for items of value, but without understanding WHY they are valued as such.

"Lighting not final"
Oh thank God.

I mean, it's not bad, but it's a bit smudgy and dim overall.

Regarding the conclusion of the current Hildebrand storyline, remember that the current storyline is the one with the man of a thousand masks or whatever. Hildebrand can totally go on to another case for 3.0 when this one is finally concluded!
